Cuisine: American
Serves: about 16 pancakes
Ingredients
  • 1¾ to 2 cups unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons oil (I use 2, but more oil means more fluffiness!)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 1¾ cups whole spelt flour
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored dairy-free protein powder OR soy flour OR chickpea flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg or ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup berries or chopped fruit (optional)
Instructions
  1. Measure 1¾ cups of the milk beverage into a large glass measuring cup. Add the oil, flaxseeds, vinegar, and sweetener and whisk to combine.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and spice (if using).
  3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix just to blend (there should still be a few lumps here and there). If the batter is too thick, gently fold in another ¼ cup of milk alternative (I usually need to since I only using 2 tablespoons of oil). Gently fold in the fruit, if using.
  4. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, and spray the pan with oil. Using an ice-cream scoop or measuring cup, scoop a scant ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and spread the batter slightly in the pan. Cook each pancake for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  5. Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers. They can be reheated in the toaster!
